Re: [libreoffice-users] Draw printing of large plans

Well, I have received a lot of support here.  Thank you all.  It looks 
like there is a 'to do' in LO Draw to output to at least one of the two 
AutoCad formats, as this is what most print shops will support.  After 
all concerns are tested and satisfied, I'll drop a note with the results 
to get the word out.

Again thanks,
John

Problem is they cannot print it.  A few questions:
